Package: cmake Version: 2.8.9-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
When using "cmake -E touch" on an existing file, the modification time is truncated at the precision of a second. This can be seen e.g. on an ext4 filesystem. How to reproduce (file1 is used with "touch", and file2 is used with "cmake -E touch"): # In an empty directory... $ ls -l total 0 # Create the two files: file1 and file2 $ touch file1 ; cmake -E touch file2 ; ls -l --full-time -rw-r----- 1 xxxx xxxx 0 2013-02-03 02:00:57.827669619 +0100 file1 -rw-r----- 1 xxxx xxxx 0 2013-02-03 02:00:57.831669779 +0100 file2 # Note that the times look good here (file1 < file2) # Touch the two files again $ touch file1 ; cmake -E touch file2 ; ls -l --full-time -rw-r----- 1 xxxx xxxx 0 2013-02-03 02:01:01.595819478 +0100 file1 -rw-r----- 1 xxxx xxxx 0 2013-02-03 02:01:01.000000000 +0100 file2 Now, the modification time of file2 is *before* that of file1, but file2 was touched *after* file1.
